    <p>It would help if we knew <em>why</em> you can't use a loop, but you can either use a custom CLR function (which might use a loop behind the scenes) or <a href="http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/transactsql/thread/4126a010-6885-4eb0-b79c-c798c90edb85" rel="nofollow">XQuery</a>:</p> <pre><code>DECLARE @S varchar(max), @Split char(1), @X xml SELECT @S = '1,2,3,4,5', @Split = ',' SELECT @X = CONVERT(xml,'&lt;root&gt;&lt;s&gt;' + REPLACE(@S,@Split,'&lt;/s&gt;&lt;s&gt;') + '&lt;/s&gt;&lt;/root&gt;') SELECT [Value] = T.c.value('.','varchar(20)') FROM @X.nodes('/root/s') T(c) </code></pre> <p>Then to get only the third (or whatever ordinal you want) string you can use a <code>ROW_NUMBER</code>-based solution to pick out the row you care about.</p> <p>EDIT: Based on the question in the comment, here's a solution for retrieving the third string. You kind of have to fake out the <code>ROW_NUMBER</code> ordering due to the fact that you don't have any data-based ordering to impose. Normally it won't let you <code>ORDER BY</code> a constant, but the <code>CASE</code> statement gets around that. Change the <code>WHERE iq.Ordinal = 3</code> to whatever you want to retrieve the string you want:</p> <pre><code>DECLARE @S varchar(max), @Split char(1), @X xml SELECT @S = '1,2,3,4,5', @Split = ',' SELECT @X = CONVERT(xml,'&lt;root&gt;&lt;s&gt;' + REPLACE(@S,@Split,'&lt;/s&gt;&lt;s&gt;') + '&lt;/s&gt;&lt;/root&gt;') SELECT TOP 1 Value FROM ( SELECT [Value] = T.c.value('.','varchar(20)'), ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY CASE WHEN T.c.value('.', 'varchar(20)') = 0 THEN 0 ELSE 0 END ASC) AS Ordinal FROM @X.nodes('/root/s') T(c) ) iq WHERE iq.Ordinal = 3 </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
